This would have been me. Well, maybe my hair would be a little fro-ee-er, but I would have had no problem blending nicely with the 60s: flowers, bra burnings, Woodstock. And my husband, he would have been right next to me tunic wearing, cigarette smokin', fingers forever in the peace position. Only I would have been Joan Baez before she was Joan Baez. I heard a song on the radio today on my way home from my friend No(dot dot)el's house called "I Wish I Was a Punk Rocker." I can't begin to say how many times I have literally said some of the very same phrases from this song.
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
In 77 and 69 revolution was in the air
I was born too late into a world that doesn't care
Oh I wish I was a punk rocker with flowers in my hair
I have always said I was born too late. Funny how God works, but dh and I have always said we should have been born twenty-ish years earlier. We would have made the best hippies ever!
The one group of people that punks roundly hate are hippies. I guess you have to choose which one you'd rather have been.
ReplyDeleteI hope you make the right choice.
and i wish you would add me to your list of commenters. what the crap david!!
ReplyDeleteCowboy's hate hippies too . . . I had hair down to my shoulder in college and a group of friendly crap-campers wanted to give me a special welcome to the neighborhood . . . lucky for me I was on the track team . . .
ReplyDeletei am pretty sure i would have made a good hippie except for the not shaving and dreads, oh yeah and smoking dubies or doobies or i don't know how you spell that but POT, smokin POT is what i mean.
ReplyDeletedid all hippies make special brownies like mo's mom made??

ReplyDeleteOkay, maybe someday I'll show you the photos of me and Dennis from the 70's and 80's.
ReplyDeleteoooh yes yes!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love hippy pics too. My mother was classic. too young to be a radical. and way too pregnant to be a femanist, but she could sport some hippy hair like no one I have ever seen.
Your mom is a hippy. A small one at that. Joy.
